This fire takes the mind back to the days
when many shops smoked their own bacon.

Older readers may well remember this. Now bacon frequently comes
wrapped in plastic wrappers although bacon slicer's are not unheard
of.

Note that the timbers have had to be cut away. This, as in the
case of the hearth fire, maybe a means of ensuring that repairs
took care of the amended timber structures and made sure that they
did not have the same risks as before.
